Hi Charlie,
I played a couple at his stand in Samois last june.
They were both Antiques, oval holes and I liked them but one was way better than the other.
They had a very dry sound and nice traditional tone, you could hear the very high quality of the sound but they were kind of quiet if you ask me. Nice playability.
I later tried some AJL XO's, and I thought were much better and consistent.

If he doesn't jump in here, you might try a PM to Dennis Chang - he spent untold hours playing rhythm with Wauau Adler for the "In the Style of Wawau Adler" DVD (which is absolutely wonderful BTW). As he also now plays an AJL, he will no doubt have an opinion on their relative merits.
